Caitlin Clark sends emphatic 2-word message about Fever’s Stephanie White hiring

After what seemed like weeks of endless speculation, it’s now official: the Indiana Fever have hired Stephanie White as their next head coach.

This is a massive acquisition for the Fever as White is generally seen as one of the best and most respected head coaches in the women’s basketball community. Not only is she respected by her peers and colleagues around the league, but current WNBA players have also given White her flowers in the past.

One of those players is Fever icon Caitlin Clark, who said of White, “She’s obviously called a lot of my plays throughout college, and I just think she has a really good basketball mind,” during a Fever press conference earlier this year.

“I think she’s done a great job calling college games. . . . She’s a trailblazer, honestly. I think she’s always been someone who’s been supportive of my game, and it’s been fun to talk to her at shooting rounds,” Clark continued.

And it didn’t take long for Clark to send an emphatic message that the Fever announced their hiring of White via social media.

In a comment to Fever’s Instagram posts Announcing their acquisition of White, Clark wrote: “Fevvvvv shooowwwwwww”.

The way Clark ran Indiana’s offense the next season reminded many basketball fans of how Magic Johnson ran the iconic “Showtime Lakers” teams of the 1980s. Perhaps Clark says the “Fev(er) Show” is a sign that the franchise is destined for the same success as the legendary Lakers teams.

Considering White is considered a defensive mastermind, her inclusion could transform the Fever from an offensive juggernaut into a well-rounded, perennial WNBA championship contender.
